up

it's been another stressful week. they're still having people come by to look at the apartment. but we haven't been harassed anymore about it's presentation. our future housing situation is completely up in the air right now. apparently gareth's aunt is a landlord who frequently purchases townhouses and rents them out. so right now she's looking for a place in centerville for us. but that wasn't so clear cut a week ago when we went up to sterling to look at houses. we found a great place with a nice yard but the trip was pointless because she doesn't want to buy in sterling... so we're giving it until we get back from florida to decide if this is actually going to happen or if we should be looking at rentals again. and we have no idea where to look ourselves at this point. i should have gotten my acceptance letter from the school by the end of last week and i didn't so now i'm waiting for my rejection letter by the end of the month to see if i've been wait-listed. if not i think i'm going to wait on school for another year. to find a job to qualify for the online program by june 15th is not only going to be hard to do but also not what i really want to do. so i guess once we figure out where we'll be living i'll just look for a job in that area full time and wait until next year to go to school. we've had pet issues this week too. kitt started peeing everywhere a couple of evenings ago and had bloody mucus in her urine. so we took her in right away and she got a shot of antibiotics and pain-killing pills for a possible uti. we're waiting to hear back from the lab the sample was sent to to make sure it's not something worse. hopefully she'll be off the pain killers by monday when we leave for florida. budd probably won't be as lucky. she got a cut on her chin over the weekend and it was getting worse so we brought her in this week. she was prescribed a scrub and ointment and needs to be out of her water tank for most of the day. she laid an egg in her dry tank last night. i had no idea she had more eggs... so she'll need an x-ray soon to see how many more she has. she'll probably need to board at the vets anyways while we're gone so her wound can be tended to. that's an expense we weren't expecting. we're hoping we don't have to cancel our trip again this year due to injuries. every thing's really up in the air at this point. and i don't like it.
